Paul & Joe Spring 2013 and Holiday Collection Haul

Here are more pics of the Paul & Joe spring 2013 Carousel collection, by the Maquia editor. Due for release on 4 January in Japan, it includes three Eye Color CS, three Lipstick CS, three lipstick cases and a Pressed Powder with swirls of pink and green.
The new line of ten blush duos will be released on 1 February. They look utterly delectable!
My order of the holiday sets from Beautybay.com arrived today.
The Eye Color & Lip Balm set has sold out on Beautybay but it is still available on ASOS.com and Beautyhabit. I find it a bit overpriced (£39/US$60) but the metal tin packaging was just too adorable to resist.
The Lip Balm (16g) has a fresh minty scent. The Smoky Eye Color 001 is 5g while the Glistening Eye Color 001 is 5g.
The pale pink shade applies as a coat of fine silver sparkles whereas the light brown shade layers better with a soft shimmery finish.
The Makeup Collection 2012 in Frozen Lilac includes a satin purse, face powder and cream blush. This has already sold out on ASOS.com but it is still available on Beautybay.
Can't bear to swatch this yet as that would disturb the snowflake overspray.
The Face Powder in Kiss of Snow is a translucent pale beige. It feels very finely milled and silky, with a dreamy matte finish. It contains jojoba oil, hydrolysed silk and orange flower water to moisturise the skin. The cotton puff is luxuriously soft and plush.
Below is the list of ingredients.

hi,Paul & Joe pulled out of Singapore last year but you can purchase it online from ASOS.com and Beautybay.com which both have free international shipping from the UK. The prices on Beautybay are slightly lower if you are not in the EU.
